Original subtitles

Wally and Art said peanut butter, and Ruby and Annie said chocolate.

I'll take whatever's left, I guess.

Will Debbie have shortbread?

Well, she's not quite open yet, but we can ask.

What about you, Maggie?

I'm having brunch with Sam, so I don't want to spoil my appetite.

Is Sam your boyfriend now?

Steve?

Well, we haven't had that conversation yet.

I think you should make Sam your boyfriend. He's nice.

I think so, too.

What will only be a few minutes.

Steve, can you keep an eye out?

I can keep an eye out myself.

I know you can, Charlotte.

I just want to keep you safe.

Come on, let's play a game.

I need to keep an eye out myself.

I need to keep an eye out myself.

I can keep an eye out myself.

and we are all just so excited for you.

This is so thoughtful.

And I hope you'll come back when I open.

I got a brand new teapot just for cream tea

to remind you of home.

I can't wait.

I have always had a dream of creating a sanctuary

where people could connect and gather

or play games while enjoying a pastry and a coffee.

Sounds perfect.

And just what Brookfield needs.

Well, these are for the children.

Your snickerdoodles are almost ready

and my cinnamon buns are just out of the oven.

See you soon.

Don't let me stop you.

Oh, Hungry Man Special.

My favorite too.

Join me.

I'm fine.

Good news from Clearwater, I'm hoping.

Huntsman won't be bothering you or anyone else

for a very long time.

I appreciate that.

How are you doing?

Why?

Experience like you had can really mess with a person.

Ah, well, not me.

I'm fine.

Ronnie?

Oh.

This tab's on me.

Oh, Michael doesn't accept free stuff.

I'm making a chapter in this one time.

Yeah.

Wait, Tess.

On you means it's on you

and not the hotel, right?

You're paying?

Keep up the good work, Ronnie.

Enjoy.

Envision it with me, Joe.

A third story of the Royal Brookfield.

Oh.

Yeah.

It'll even have a honeymoon suite.

I mean, just think of the possibilities.

That sounds terrific, Ronnie.

I love the idea.

It's just...

How are you going to pay for it?

Oh, I have an investor in mind.

Sam?

You know it.

That guy's got more money

than he knows what to do with.

And a third story just makes sense.

So you're looking for a loan?

Well, more like an endowment.

Oh.

So he gives you money

and you don't give him anything.

Exactly.

Yeah.

I was thinking I could name a floor

of the Tremblay in his honor.

You know, or a room or a chair.

In any case, this will be part of his legacy.

And you cannot put a price on that, my friend.

I just hear something about someone saying

there was money to invest

because I've got a rock-solid idea.

What is it?

Well, I'm not going to tell you.

I wasn't sure if you'd be joining me.

I wouldn't miss morning rounds.

Okay.

I know it's been a lot with me juggling

design duties with the ranch

and it will be for a while.

Excellent.

So, I wanted to show my appreciation

for your support and understanding.

I know you love your long coat

but in the summer it can get a bit hot.

It's still durable and practical.

Just with the touch of fashion thrown in.

You made this?

You seem surprised.

Come on.

Try it on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

That's perfect.

What?

How did you know my size?

It's what I do.

This doesn't get you out of your rounds.

Of course not.

I feel bad that we're dining at the hotel

instead of the bakery.

Well, in our defense,

Debbie doesn't serve brunch.

Plus, this is our spot.

Our tradition with my favorite person.

I feel the same.

Ah, Sam, my good man.

Hi, Ronnie.

Did I tell you both that I've been thinking

about expanding the hotel?

Imagine, if you will, a third story with,

now get this,

your very own private dining area.

Shouldn't you be talking to your partner

before discussing changes to the hotel?

Now, I have an idea you might be very interested in.

Would you mind excusing us for a moment

so I can talk to Sam and Brian?

Privacy does sound good about now.

Gentlemen, I'd be interested in hearing your ideas,

but right now I'd like to focus on my girlfriend.

Please.

Girlfriend?

Um, is it okay that I call you that?

He'll talk to you later.

Sam, I would be delighted and honored

to call you my boyfriend.

Congratulations.

Now, about a private meeting.

There's not too many private spots around.

Well, I'd be more than happy

to carve out a little space

to host this meeting.

At a nominal fee, of course.

Perhaps after brunch.

Absolutely.

You heard the man.

Go.

Ronnie?

Oh.

Ruf! Ruf!

Rufus!

Michael.

Hi.

Hi.

I hope everything went well in Clearwater.

It did.

Case is now wrapped up.

Great.

I got a telegram from Zoe in San Francisco.

She has a meeting set up with the police.

Oh.

Good.

Well, I guess we'll get going.

Can we play more with Rufus?

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

That's one way to do it.

I would try two flakes at a time.

It's easier.

Cleaner, too.

I thought it would save time.

What's the big rush?

Just trying to be more efficient.

Well, if you're busy, I can do it.

Make it work.

Don't worry.

I have no plans to give up my ranching duties.

Uh, the...

We have some cattle to tend to.

You coming?

Rufus, let go.

You have to let go.

Have you been inside Debbie's Pastries yet?

It looks great.

Um, no.

Not yet.

We got free cookies.

What's your favorite?

Miss Nora loves snickerdoodles.

I do, but they weren't ready yet.

Ah, snickerdoodles.

I'm a sucker for the Butter Tart Bandits.

Mm, of course you are.

Is that real, or do you have to say that as part of the red surge?

I'm not inclined to discuss it.

You know, that whole thing with my former mentor, it goes without saying, I wasn't involved.

I had no idea Carter was potentially bribing a judge.

Hasn't matter yet.

You really shouldn't comment on an active case.

But you have an opinion.

It's not for me to say.

I know you have Mountie priorities, and I respect that.

It's just...

I thought we were friends.

We are friends.

Charlotte!

Wait!

You're okay.

I can do things myself.

I don't always want to wait.

I know, it can be frustrating.

You know, I don't have any Mountie business for Rufus today.

So if the children would like, they could play with him at the orphanage.

Can we, Miss Nora?

Please.

That would be nice.

Ben!

Welcome to Debbie's Pastries.

Hi.

Wow.

Congrats.

I'll have my usual.

One cherry strudel coming right up.

It really looks good in here.

Doesn't it?

Thanks.

And as part of our opening day special, everyone gets a coffee...

free...

when they dine in.

So?

What do you think?

It's not exactly a private room, but...

okay, it'll have to do.

What are you all doing?

Is that Ken?

No, no, no.

I'll check.

No, no, no.

Sam's only meeting me.

This isn't for anyone else.

What is going on here?

These people say they heard a sample of a waste of spenders' money.

No.

No more people.

Go on.

Shoot.

That's okay.

It's okay.

I'll hear everyone's ideas.

All right.

Yes, I know what it looks like, Harley, but it's different this time.

I just need a short-term loan.

Listen, I wish I could help Tom, but I just don't have much of me deserve.

Right.

Yeah, of course.

Hey, uh, you see that line over there?

I heard it's because that kid Sam is taking pitches this afternoon,

looking for somewhere to invest his gold.

Oh, yeah?

I've got an idea myself.

What have you got to lose?

Tom.

You'll get through this.

What, uh, what was that all about?

Oh, Tom's having money troubles.

Not another get-rich-quick scheme.

I don't know the specifics.

Just that he got in over his head and seems a bit desperate for a loan.

I'm surprised he hasn't asked you.

Well, he probably thinks I don't have it.

Well, do you?

Not exactly.

How are you doing, anyway?

Good.

Oh, this one's amazing.

There's something off with Michael.

He's been guarded since I told him about the Carter situation.

Well, he is a mount.

He might feel like a complex of interest.

Oh, I get that.

But he couldn't actually think I did it, could he?

Michael knows you.

We all do.

Here.

Smell this.

My alb.

Oh.

What is that?

Rose oil.

Oh, smells like happiness.

There's something different about you.

And it's not the rose oil.

Well, Sam and I are official.

Oh, I am so happy for you.

You deserve this, Maggie.

So do you.

You are innocent, and the truth will always come to light.

Just focus on what you can control.

I'm ready, Miss Nora.

Ready?

You haven't heard of what Sam is doing?

So you've got your slipper orchids, your monkey orchids, your dancing lady orchids, your cattle yacht orchids.

How many kinds of orchids are there?

Oh, there are thousands of varieties.

Some are more rare than ours.

So you want to be an orchid farmer?

Well, definitely.

And how long do they take to grow?

Well, they can take seven years.

Seven?

But it's worth it.

Right, right.

And that's all the time we have today.

But I haven't even brought in my samples.

We're now limiting it to five minutes per person, Harley.

But there's so many more.

You've got the boat orchids.

Yes.

And vanilla orchids.

Wonderful.

And jewel orchids.

And the colors.

Of course.

We're talking white, purple, pink, blue, orange.

Where do they come up with these things?

I had no idea this town was so creative.

Sam, there are ideas.

And then there is execution.

I mean, how many of these people can actually follow through and deliver?

Give you a third story.

Something to think about.

Only five minutes per person, folks.

All right, Sam's a very busy man.

Next.

Bone orchids.

Nice jacket.

Gift from Anna.

Oh, the fashion designer's rubbing off on you.

Not even a little bit.

Suit yourself.

So what's up?

Another fence need fixing?

Almost done with this stand and then I can steal away?

Actually, I'm here for Anna.

I know.

She said she needed my help with her collection.

Not sure what that means, but I'm all caught up at the ranch for today, so I said I could

spare a bit of time.

Yeah.

So, it's a chemistry set for kids?

Yes, sir.

I mean, Mr. Sam.

You can create all kinds of things.

Helpful stuff for cleaning the house and fun kids' stuff, too.

And where are children supposed to use these chemistry sets?

Just at home.

Like I do.

Wow!

This is how you make a volcano.

Oh, is it safe?

Uh, most of the time.

Of course there will be the occasional accident.

This feels like an insurance claim waiting to happen.

You did a great job, Steve.

Yes, but I'm afraid that's all the time we have, Stu.

Steve.

Bye-bye, Steve.

Thank you so much for coming in.

Joe.

Nice to see a friendly face.

Big first day.

How's it going?

All right.

You know, I'm just trying for the life of me to get people to stay and stick around a while.

I bought all these chairs and tables for no reason.

Yeah, well, give them time.

You know, people don't like change, and, well, Brookfield's a bit preoccupied today.

Maybe you just have to remind them of what you're offering here.

Thanks.

You're a good friend.

That's what I'm here for.

Um, but I, uh, would love to stay and chat, but no one's watching the store.

So.

And good luck.

Thanks.

Our ranch is one of the oldest here in Brookfield.

Now, ranching is my livelihood.

Having your support would mean everything to my family.

You know I tried ranching.

It wasn't really for me, so what are we talking about?

A partnership?

No, no, I don't need a partner.

What I need is a loan.

And I'm not really looking to take on the role of a bank.

It would be short term.

I'll pay you back in 30 days, 2% interest.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

Tom, but I appreciate you coming in.

The way you speak about your ranch, the passion you have, I want that.

I want to build something I can believe in.

Best of luck.

Thanks.

Oh, great.

Living alone.

Next.

Yeah.

I'm sorry it didn't work out, Steve.

I love your ideas.

Some may be safer than others, but that's not a reflection on your talents.

No matter what, I think you have an exceptional mind.

Really?

Absolutely.

My experience, God's rejection is really a redirection.

Something even better.

I like that idea.

So do I.

Nora, I need your legal services.

Okay.

How can I help you?

I have an ironclad idea that I need to have protected.

I was all set to pitch it, and I saw the line of people just waiting to give their ideas

away for free.

What's your idea?

Nice try, young man.

Well, I'm bringing Steve back to the orphanage, but I can meet you later.

Okay.

How about a Debbie's Pastries?

The town gossip?

Not a chance.

The hotel?

Yeah, all right then.

See you then.

Good day.

Maggie, you're here to pitch.

Actually, I brought a little bit of sustenance and a pitch that we have dinner together tomorrow.

That is the best idea I've heard all day.

How did all this come about?

Well, it started small, and it's now a little overwhelming.

But it's also been eye-opening.

Hearing people be so passionate about their ideas makes me want to find the thing I'm passionate about.

That's amazing.

Well, have you thought about what you love?

Um, like a person?

Um, let me rephrase.

Where do you like to spend most of your time?

I spend most of my time right here.

True.

Well, I'm sure the perfect investment will find you.

I believe in you, Sam.

I'm glad you stopped by.

Yeah, me too.

No fraternizing with the investor.

Oh.

I'm Maggie.

See you later.

There we go.

I'm sorry, Hannah, but I should probably get back to the ranch.

Please, I just need your help for a little longer.

You make the designs look beautiful.

Oh, hold that pose.

Huh?

Wait, you didn't mention you were going to be taking photographs.

Sorry.

I need to send photos of the collection to my investor, and the hanger doesn't really do

the outfits justice.

Truth is, I've never had my photo taken before.

So, I just need a brief description of your patent property.

Description?

You want me to tell you my idea and how it works?

Exactly.

And then it'll be about four weeks before we hear back.

What?

Sam's money be gone by then.

Have you seen the line of people over there?

Sure.

Okay.

How about I write out a contract for Sam where he vows not to repeat your idea and use it

without your permission.

Sam will sign it, and your idea will be safe.

That's nice.

Uh, let's try one where you elongate your neck.

Right.

Yeah.

How's that?

Good.

Good.

Okay, let's try one maybe where you soften your gaze.

Yeah.

Better?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's great.

All right, uh, listen up, friends, if you would.

Uh, due to high demand, uh, pitches will now be limited to one idea per person.

All right?

That's one idea.

Sorry, no exceptions.

I...

Oh, Tess.

What's this all about?

Sam has got money to burn, and he's looking for investments.

So I was thinking to...

I see you, Harley West.

Sam should see my beautiful samples.

We need to talk later.

Harley.

Okay.

Nora?

Thought I'd stop by later to collect Rufus, if that's okay.

Sure.

That sounds good.

Uh, if you'll excuse me, please.

I'm currently in the middle of a meeting with a paying client.

Of course.

Excuse me.

Paying?

I thought this was a consult.

Oh, sorry to interrupt.

I need the feed ledger.

Oh, that's in that pile.

I'm not sure what I'm interrupting.

Lucy's helping me.

I need, uh, photos for my collection.

The investor wants a preliminary look at my designs.

Okay.

You know, I don't think I've seen you in a getup like this before, Lucy.

Suits you.

Doesn't it?

Um, maybe there's someone better for these photographs.

I can't figure out how to stand, what to do with my hands.

You'll get the hang of it.

What if I don't?

Hey, what if these photographs mess you up with your investor?

They won't.

You'll get there.

Won't she, Wyatt?

Um, yeah.

Sure.

I don't think so.

I clearly don't know what I'm doing.

Maybe that's because you're an outdoor cat stuck indoors.

What does that mean?

Uh, it means she's, uh, not in her natural habitat.

Do you want to try some shots outside, Lucy?

Sure.

Um, spread the shot.

The Mounties seem to want a very thorough assessment of your health.

Yes.

Headquarters want to see if I'm ready to go back out in the field.

Back out?

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Okay, um, well, let's get started.

Thanks.

Did you see Nora today?

I did.

We went to celebrate Debbie's opening.

Right.

You mentioned that.

Did she also mention a conversation we had?

She did?

Look, I get the feeling she's upset.

I'm trying to figure out how upset.

I tried talking to her.

Got the impression she wasn't open to it.

I see.

Now, in your line of work, is that perhaps what you call evidence?

Oh.

One brownie to go, please, Debbie.

Oh, Ronnie.

You look like you could use a break.

Why don't you sit down and have a tea with that brownie?

No rest for the weary, I'm afraid.

I'm busy running all of Sam's investment proposals.

You know, it's quite an undertaking.

I heard something about that.

Yeah.

Ooh, samples, huh?

Yes, I was hoping to lure people into the bakery.

Nice.

Hey, you know what?

On second thought, cancel the brownie.

These will tide me over.

Got to get back to the pitches.

Oh, before you go, about the pitches.

I have something that I think would be a real winner.

Maybe you can pass it along?

Sure.

It's a bread slicing machine.

How's that?

Imagine.

Pre-sliced bread.

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie.

I can't out in good conscience.

Take an idea like that to Sam.

A bread slicing machine.

That's a good one.

Okay.

Have a great one, Ronnie.

Congratulations.

I am giving you an excellent bill of health.

Previous injuries all healed.

Yes, you have full approval to go into any posting.

Now, does this mean that your temporary assignment here might be coming to a close?

They're sending you back out into the field.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to either of those questions.

Michael, I know I'm not alone in hoping you stay here in Brookfield.

That would definitely be my preference, too.

I just have to wait for my orders.

Dr. Fletcher, good day to you, my friend.

Thank you, Ronnie.

Well, hey, Michael.

Hope all's going well.

Thanks, Joe.

Appreciate that.

Oh, hey.

You know, buzz around town is there's some sucker ready to invest in anything.

Not anything.

Just need to find the right thing.

You know what, Sam?

I might be able to help you out there.

What's wrong when you're here?

Yeah.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking I need to head to the North Pasture.

Pretend you just finished a long ride and you're feeding your horse.

Okay.

Lucy, you look like you never fed a horse a carrot before.

I'm not going to take you from your home like that.

Come on, Sassy.

Oh, that's great.

That's great.

Let's try one with you sitting up on the fence.

Yeah.

I don't think I've ever seen Lucy lounging on a fence before, but...

Sure.

Tom, hold up.

Hey, Tess.

How are you feeling?

Why does everybody keep asking me that?

I'm fine.

Listen, I was, uh...

I was talking to Harley and he was telling me about your troubles.

Harley, why is he running his mouth off like that?

Because he's concerned.

And, you know, it's a good thing he told me, because I might be able to help you out.

How?

With the short-term loan.

You have the capital for that?

Yeah, I think so, but this will have to be official, right?

I'll need a contract and collateral, security.

Sure, sure.

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

Okay, well, you know, get me the numbers and I'll have something written up.

I'll be happy to sign a test, but it has to be soon.

Yeah, it will be.

Thank you, Tess.

You've saved me a world of trouble.

Yeah.

Miss Nora, come see.

Charlotte taught Rufus a trick.

That's exciting.

What is it?

Are you ready?

Are you watching?

I am.

Okay.

Rufus, bring me my dolly, please.

Thank you, Rufus.

Did you see?

I sure did.

You taught him that?

Yes.

Now, Rufus can help me find things.

Isn't it great?

It's wonderful.

Oh, Charlotte, you sure have a special way with him.

I think I do.

Good boy.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh, Tess, I was hoping to catch you.

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you.

Sam's just finishing up listening to investment proposals.

Now is the perfect time to hit him up with the idea of a third store.

I don't think so.

Well, come on.

We can present a united firm.

I think this is something you should take up with your partner.

Well, Tess, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

No, I mean your new partner.

New?

I have sold my half of the Royal Brookfield to Sam.

No, I have.

And I think you two are going to work really well together.

He's thrilled.

Yeah.

Sam.

Well, Tess, I'll be the good news.

So, partners.

Pretty excited.

Oh, yeah, me too, me too.

Very, very excited.

So, you still want to rent out this sweet little spot to hear pitches tomorrow?

At a partner's discount, of course.

No, no, no, no, no.

What would be the point?

Oh, good.

Oh, so you decided to invest all your money into the Royal Brookfield.

Well, I plan on investing all my time and energy into the hotel.

I don't have time to sit around all day and listen to ideas.

I got a hotel to run.

Yeah, but Sam, I run the hotel.

Yes, yes, you do run it.

But now you've got a partner.

A partner with a lot of ideas on how to improve this place.

You see, the thing with Tess was she was more what you call a silent partner.

Sure.

Sure, but she was a rancher.

Me, I'm a former gold miner, now a hotelier.

I'm going to get this place up to date.

I can hardly wait.

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

Here, just sign this and you'll make the best investment a man could ever make.

Well, I'm sorry, Ken.

I'm not listening to any more pitches.

I found my vocation.

I'm taking over the hotel.

No, no, no.

But Sam, look, look, right here.

Sign here, Sam.

Sam, Sam, Sam.

Sam.

Silent, partner.

Silent.

Let's see your arm on the fence there.

Yeah.

Perfect.

Oh, that's wonderful.

You guys are still at it.

Yes, but it's going great.

Just a few more.

Okay.

Just like that.

Yeah.

My investor will be very happy.

I thought I'd see the day you'd be posing for photos.

You and me both.

Hannah?

Everything okay?

Yes.

Great.

Thank you both.

You look perfect.

Perfect.

Thank you so much, Debbie.

This is so lovely.

It's my pleasure.

So, I hear you have a big idea.

What is it?

I'll never tell.

Really?

Come on, Ken.

All I'll say is, one day, there'll be a Newsom.

That's what I'm calling.

A Newsom.

In every household in Brookfield.

Maybe the world.

Mark my words.

Hmm.

Sounds very special.

In the meantime, how about a game of cribbage?

I'm in.

Yeah, me too.

So long as you're both prepared to lose.

Harley?

Hi.

Cinnamon bun.

Of course.

You know me too well.

This place puts me in mind of your Auntie Pearl's Sunday dance.

Those were the days.

I know.

I miss her too.

He's right, you know.

Your Aunt Pearl would be so very proud of you.

Well, it was you and Maggie who got everyone to come.

Oh, you created this warm space full of delicious pastries and fun games and great friends.

That's all you.

Thanks, Joe.

Hi.

Okay, Charlotte.

It's time to go in.

Rufus has to leave soon.

Can I give Rufus a treat before he goes?

Well, I don't think Rufus will say no to a treat.

Oh, wait.

Honey, let me help you.

It's okay.

Rufus is helping me.

Okay, careful.

I did it with Rufus.

Did you see?

I did.

Charlotte, sweetheart.

I'm so proud of you.

Okay.

What's going on?

I wanted you to try that ice cream tea.

I have a surprise.

Close your eyes.

Right over here.

Okay.

Open them.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Where did you get them?

Harley.

He knows more about orchids than you'd ever care to hear.

I wanted to find a special way to thank you.

For what?

For making me believe that a simple gold miner can do anything he sets his mind to.

Does this mean you found your investment?

I did.

I bought half the hotel off Tess.

I'm going to be partners with Ronnie.

We're going to run the place together.

Oh, that's amazing.

Wait, how does Ronnie feel about this?

He's just as excited as I am.

Well, he will be.

The thing is, Maggie,

all of my dreams are coming true

because of you.

I found my girl.

I found my calling.

I am one lucky man.

I am the lucky one, Sam.

Letters pass.

See you later.

My dad gave me a ride to town and told me what you did.

I'm glad I could help.

Such a relief for him.

And me.

Okay.

That's enough.

You're welcome.

All right.

I know you hate being faint,

but to have you bail my father out like that means a lot.

You know, Luce, here in Brookfield,

that's just what we ranchers do.

We look out for each other.

Right on.

Are you here for Rufus?

I am.

I'm missing my deputy.

Thank you for letting us borrow him.

He's been great for Charlotte.

I'm glad.

These are for you.

Oh.

Snickerdoodles.

I wanted to clarify some things about our conversation earlier.

I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.

I was a little thrown by your response.

As a Mountie, I often encounter people who turn out not to be who I thought they were.

Wait.

Are you saying the bribery allegations against my former boss changed your opinion of me?

No.

I mean, I've gone undercover a lot.

So I've learned not to trust people.

Because if I did and I was wrong, it'd be dangerous.

I see.

It's different with you.

Do you make me want to learn to be better at sharing feelings?

At trusting?

See, I'm not good at it.

But eating you, knowing you, makes me want to try.

I'm trying, Nora.

I am.

Hello, Moni Fletcher.

Miss Nora, Eleanor's suss supper is ready.

Thanks, Steve.

I'll let you and the children get on with your evening.

Thank you, Michael.

Thank you for trying.

Rufus!

Reaboyed!
